Are you looking to declutter your life? Have a space that’s minimal, chic and unfussy? Then look no further than handleless kitchen cabinets for your next redesign.
So, what’s so special about handleless kitchen cabinets, I hear you ask? Well, with a flat panel with no external fitting to open them, these doors are the cornerstone of modern design.
Perfect if your preferred style is beautifully understated, handleless furniture is the perfect solution offering a seamless look which suits virtually any interior. These styles also work well in open-plan schemes as the streamlined look – without handle details that could interfere with other furniture – allows a smooth transition into the dining and living spaces.
This kitchen – Alno by Halcyon Interiors – includes Alno Star Matt lacquer in white and bespoke coloured tall units. Handleless recess run uninterrupted around the whole kitchen. Appliances by Gaggenau; worktops by Ceralsio.
But the visually striking designs, which come in a plethora of finishes, colours, and sizes, also offer many practical benefits. Oh, yes, indeed!
If you don’t want push-to-open doors, add grooves in the same colour as the kitchen doors. You can also choose a different finish to create a contrast and add interest.
They’re also child friendly because the little ones won’t be catching themselves on any sharp handle corners.
Want something a little different? Metal designs can create a contemporary feel and integrate well with stainlesss steel finishes on appliances, sinks, and taps.
Use completely integrated appliances to continue the fuss-free appearance, and keep the work surfaces clear of mixers, tools, and other countertop helpers.
The homeowners of this kitchen renovation decided to have one wall of units to be completely handleless, mixed with doors with large, think handles on the other.
The clean lines make efficient use of space, with handleless kitchen cabinets taking up less room than those with. Plus, seamless door fronts create a linear impression, with nowhere for dirt to gather and push-to-open mechanisms making domestic life easier.
